Thor's hammer vs Green Lantern's ring

I would pick Mjolnir, over a standard GL ring.

Kyle Ring, over Mjolnir.

But as cosmic items go, the Quantum or Nega bands seem like a far better choice.

It doesn't require recharging, for one.

a minor inconvenience compare to what it can do which is anything..the hammer doesn't really have any advantage over the ring..

With the hammer comes Thor's abilities too

Quasar doesn't have the ring computer, or auto defenses.

That's a big selling point for a noob, imo.

i'd take the ring, assuming full knowledge of both.

How about the knowledge you get is your own personal knowledge of how they work? Sounds like a cool idea.

well, that would amount to pretty much the same thing for most readers, so..... yeah. gimme the ring. 🙂

Well the Cosmic Awareness is a nice substitute to the rings computer. No recharging, and a monster energy manipulator to boot is a nice plus.

The hammer can be conceal like a cane, or become with some one fist like in the Stormbreaker with Walt Simmson!

Hammer all day for me!

All things equal I'll go with the ring, pull a Mongul Jr and have it tell me everything it can do. Then I'd go about setting up a financial empire so large that Bill Gates would be coming to me for loans 😄

pretty sure if you could become thor you could have an actually harem of hot chef women if you wanted to

I will take Thor in a fight over pretty much any GL. But the answer is the ring here, and I'm shocked at how torn the thread is.

Planetary scale storms? The ability to summon the winds of hundreds or thousands of worlds? Being able to absorb virtually any energy blast and send it back anywhere from x10 to x100 fold? Draining someone's soul/lifeforce?

On average, Mjolnir operates on a higher scale than a power ring does.

Conversely, what advantages does a power ring have over Mjolnir outside of creating hard light constructs?

Sure the hammer might make you more powerful but the ring is close enough in terms of power... Plus there is just so much more you can do with it.

The ability to allow me to become a very wealthy man without resorting to overt displays of power 😄

I'd have the ring come up with a design to create complex micro circuitry for things like pace makers etc. I'd develope advanced power sources, come up with technology that helps to advance our space program etc. But I'd do it in a way as to not overtly sway the course of human destiny, only give it a subtle nudge here and there lol.

If we get the ring, do we still have the "no usage for personal gain" thing?

I'd assume -or at least I hope- so, I mean we're getting Mjolnir without the "Worthy" stipulation lol.

hal has done that and more. he can even trap powerful mages inside his ring. the ring used to have its own dimension.
